What is Showrunning?: Interview with BEL-AIR Co-Showrunner, Rasheed Newson

Hosts Tasha Huo and Josh Hallman sit down with Rasheed Newsom, co-showrunner of BEL-AIR on Paramount+ and author of the upcoming historical novel, MY GOVERNMENT MEANS TO KILL ME. 

They discuss Rasheed's rise from production assistant to showrunner, how being a showrunner is actually just being a middle manager disguised as a boss, lessons he's learned from writers rooms that have imploded, and why the #2 job in a writers room should be the most coveted job in Hollywood.
